Mrs. Quinlan and Mr. Ivers for their work in securing

increases in fees payable under the Criminal Legal Aid

Scheme.

Joint Labour Committee

The Director General reported that at the meeting of

the Joint Labour Committee on 13 November, 1984, the

increase of 49f from the date of the Order and 4

/r from 1st

February, had been confirmed. He also reported that the

Employees' Side, referring to the very long period under

which the increase had been negotiated, had asked that as

a gesture of good will, the Employers' Side might pay the

first instalment from 1st September, 1984. Mr. Crowley

emphasised the need for solicitors to pay the minimum

rates specified in the Order since the present situation,

judging by the Department of Labour report, was far

from satisfactory.

The report of the President and Council was then

formally adopted.

Date

Miss A. Neary asked that the Annual General Meeting

should be held at a more convenient time for solicitors in

practice. Her suggestion was supported by Mr. Smyth and

it was agreed that the fixing of the date and time of the

Annual General Meeting, 1985, be adjourned to the Half-

Yearly General Meeting. In the meantime, the position

would be examined.

Vote of Thanks

The Chair was then taken by Mr. Anthony E. Collins,

Senior Vice President, and a vote of thanks to the

outgoing president was proposed by Mr. Donal Kelliher.

He commented that in his year of office, the President had

been dedicated and hard working. He had handled in a

most effective way, matters relating to the media and had

made it clear that he welcomed non-lawyers on to the

Disciplinary Committee since the profession had nothing

to hide. In addition, he had succeeded in formalising the

a r r a n g eme nt for processing negligence claims.

Concluding, Mr. Kelliher remarked that the Society was

most indebted to Mr. O'Donnell and also to his wife,

Maeve, who with him, had hosted the Annual Conference

and had participated in various other functions of the

Society. The vote of thanks was seconded by Mr. Charles

Meredith and carried with exclamation.

This terminated the business of the meeting.

Ballot Results

The result of the Ballot for the Council 1984/85 was

published in the November

Gazette.
